Hurricanes Edge Sabres 3-1

‘Both goaltenders were excellent, especially Ellis. The Hurricanes backup stopped 40 of 41 shots while Miller finished 39 saves on 41 shots. Noticeable on Friday night was the lack of playing time for 18-year-old Mikhail Grigorenko. The rookie saw just 6:48 on the ice and did not skate at all during the third period.’
